From the History of Marshall's fly jacket:

Former Marshall mayor and businessman Harold
C. Brooks earned a national reputation as a leading historic
preservationist. Much of his vision of preserving and enhancing
the historic environment of his hometown was accomplished, but
the history he began writing inthe late 1920's "to preserve
for posterity an authentic picture of Marshall" was never
completed.

Sixty years later another historican and
lifelong resident of Marshall, Richard Carver, took up the cause
of writing the history of the city. He drew upon his own extensive
collection of photographs and documents and searched through
Marshall's old newspapers and various historical documents many
times over. Now, after more than five years, his labor of love
"A History of Marshall," is completed and in your hands.
This history covers over 150 years of Marshall history and is
enhanced by six hundred historic photographs.

Brooks and Carver shared a love of history
and a genuine fondness and pride in their hometown and will be
remembered for their contributions to Marshall, one for his preservation
efforts and the other for this long overdue history of Marshall.

Richard Carver was born and raised
in Marshall, Michigan, graduating from Marshall High School in
1937. He received a B.A. degree from Albion College in 1950 and
a B.S. degree from the University of Michigan in 1951.

With a degree in mechanical engineering
he worked at Woodlin Metal Products in Marsahll for eight years
as draftsman and project engineer and for the Sherer Gillett/Warren
Sherer Company in Marshall for another 21 years as a senior project
engineer.

He served in France, Germany and Austria
with the 103rd Infantry Division in World War II.

His interest in all branches of history,
inititated by high school teachers and enhanced in college with
a history major, has continued to the present time.
